My sentiments exactly. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Congratulations on being the 10,000 post in this thread! :D

I got Kyoryu Gold the other day. Does anyone else's have a leg issue? It's almost as if the leg isn't right for the body, and thus, the inner workings of his ... uh ... crotch ... are always showing no matter the pose. Can't close the gap.

Yaaaaaaay me!

Does he get a prize? :p

The greatest prize of all:

Disappointment!

Oh, wait...

Should I get the S.H Figuarts of Momotaros? I got the SHF of Urataros and he is pretty good for a figure from 2009.

I be jelly if you do get him.

Yep. When I opened him the legs were kind of sunk down and when I tried to move them, the joint they use was tight, I had to fool with it to loosen it up. Its somewhat fine now, but it is weird they used a different mold for the hips then the other Kyoryugers so far. If you look at Red, Blue, and Greens upper leg and hip design, they are different compared to Golds. Not sure if that is the problem.

I want them all =)

Just fiddled with him to take some photos and I noticed a similar thing. I think the main issue is that his thighs are a lot thicker than Kyoryu Red's or any other Sentai Figuart for that matter. I really limits the amount of range that the leg can rotate with out moving at the ball joint which is unfortunate.

On mine, there is also a bit of unsightly paint QC issues. There's a small thread that seems to have gotten on his chest while painting occurred and his lower abdomen has what looks like scratches of scuffs on the paint.

His left arm is also a bit of a pain to toy with since the Gaburichanger is removable to make hand swapping easier but it also gets in the way of using much of the articulation in the wrist as well. But I think in general, he looks great with the other Kyoryugers! Though I still need the two two-packs. Hoping to snag Black and Pink off of N-Y when they become available then I would just need to look for Green and Blue. Hopefully they decide to release the others as well, I need Yayoi/Violet!

The SHF is a great momotaros, bonus if you get him with the denliner set. Personally though I find the old Shouchaku henshin Momo more to my tastes, mostly because he comes off less thinner than the SHF. Also he came with Platform so that was a big plus.

Thanks. I might have to find Momotaros on a cheaper price since the prices for him on Ebay are pretty high. I was lucky to bought Urataros for $35 on Ebay the other night.

Oh hey Tamashii drop tonight. Ryugen's listed on AmiAmi, plus a rerelease of Garren.

Not many people here on the forums aren't pumped for Ryugen like Gaim and Zangestu was.

Let's hope so. More room for me. Lol.

Hopefully I can snag a Ryugen from Amiami.

Some one must've cancel on Gaim, because he is back on pre-order on BBTS. HLJ stopped order on him again too.

Edit - Nevermind he's sold out once more.

Same here ha ha. I'm all for a slightly-less chaotic scramble of trying to get a preorder in to AmiAmi.

Got him.

Yay nabbed him (plus SIC Wizard and Ultra-Act Tiga). Debating whether I really want to put a preorder in for Garren or not, since he's still there...

Dang, sold out with in 30 seconds again. Couldn't get Ryugen. :(

Edit: Waited 10 minutes and managed to get him!

Just managed to get one :D

Preordered Ryugen. Although, I did it for uchihabro77, since he fell asleep already :lol.

I don't get Kamen Rider, but I noticed Ryugen is still In Stock right now.

Wow, that's weird. After I secured mine I went back and checked and it still showed as "in stock" for me as of 12:05 AM.

Also random, but lately IE has worked better/faster for me to get preorders in on AmiAmi than Chrome which...I would not expect.

EDIT: The Garren rerelease has also already sold out...and Ryugen is back up as of at 12:15 PST.

Yeah, but I did manage to get it in my cart, not sure if I could have just checked out with it but it did come back in stock 10 minutes later so in the end I secured a pre-order. I was using chrome. Haha.

Ryugen is still in stock.

If only I had the money :lol

You can't come up with $45 by the end of August? Or do you not want to risk it?

EDIT: Man, Micchi must have some strong hate. Ryugen is still in stock and the lag stopped.

Oh I could probably do it. Of course the other thing is that I have to use my dad's Paypal (don't have my own). I don't know the password to it, and he's asleep. Don't think he wants to be awoken to buy a figure at nearly 3:30 in the morning.

When was the last time a new Figuarts release hung around in stock, in the early going at least, longer than a rerelease?

Not recent enough to remember.

Edit: He finally sold out around 3:08.

He went in and out of stock several times, that's just how Amiami handle pre-orders. It's been no different than any other Rider.

No, this one's been a bit different, given how long the periods of availability have lasted compared to other new Rider Figuarts.

Speaking of, both Ryugen and Garren are available at AmiAmi again as of 3:11 PST. Threw in a preorder for Garren after all. I'm not big on bikes in general, but figure it's worth it to get it now rather than risk changing my mind well down the road after all online stock has shriveled up and the secondary market price jumps.

Got my Ryugen off HobbySearch. First time I've seen a Gaim Rider not sold out on the first day.

More stock? This is the reason we assume Bluefin hasn't been allowed to bring them over after all. The first few waves went as quick as ever.

Oh mother fu---

Ryugen's still in stock?! o_O

*preorders!*

I got back from my flight and just crashed, completely forgetting. Wow am I glad I still got one somehow.

Gah, would you guys stop tempting me to pre-order Ryugen, I'm planning to get me a new model railway locomotive ordered & I'm seeing Ryugen as the main topic on this thread right now :lol. JK by the way :lol.

Is the hate for Micchy really this great? He's still in Stock as of this post.....

The hate of Micchy is strong with this forum :lolol.
